Today's wod was structured as a team workout and was put on for folks to bring a friend along to do the workout with them. Our class had odd numbers so I ended up working through it with 2 partners instead of one. It looked like this:
As a team move through the following exercises. All reps of one exercise must be completed before moving to another. Complete the workout afap. Time does not stop until the last teammate finishes the final exercise.
-15 bwd medball overhead granny tosses, 20#
-60 knees to elbows in plank, feet in rings
-60 box jumps, 24"
-90 burpees
-120 goblet squats, 24kg
-150 medball slams, 20#
-400m farmers walk, 24kg
team time=17ish
We decided, since there were three of us, to each do a third of the reps for the exercises but if one partner finished well ahead of the others on a particular exercise, he could feel free to hit some extra reps to help the team out. Our team moved well and we all did an equal amount of reps except for on the box jumps where I was on fire and banged out 30 unbroken about the time each of my teammates were hitting 15. It was nuts. I felt like I was floating. Definitely time to start using the 30" box for wods. The farmer's walk was ridiculous. I couldn't make it all the way around without dropping, had to drop once. My forearms were wrecked. A good wod.
I finished the day with some handstand and rope climbing work. I did three max time handstand holds with a 12' rope climb between each one. They were:
-1x 47 seconds
-1x 38 seconds
-1x 35 seconds
Then, MAGIC happened! I was all but ready to call it a day but decided, since it's one of my goals, to give the rope a 4th go but without using my feet. AND I MURDERED IT! Well, not really murdered. In fact, I barely made it up. But I made it, no feet, just hands. It seriously took me almost a minute to make it up. Towards the top, I was screaming with every pull. By the time I got to the top, I almost plummeted to my death because my grip was gone. But I landed safely. And I'm stoked with this newly discovered capacity. I'll definitely continue to work on the jungle gym skills.
